Hey there, beauty lovers! If you’ve ever found yourself trying to nail that perfect winged eyeliner, you know it can be a bit tricky. But fear not! Makeup artist Clara James shares her top four methods to achieve that stunning look. Let’s dive in!
1. The Classic Liquid Liner
For a bold and defined wing, liquid eyeliner is your best friend. Start by drawing a thin line from the inner corner of your eye to the outer corner. Once you reach the end, flick the liner upwards to create the wing. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect – you can always clean up the edges with a cotton swab!
2. The Gel Liner Trick
If you prefer a softer look, gel liner is the way to go. Use an angled brush to apply the gel, starting from the inner corner and working your way out. For the wing, follow the same upward flick technique. Gel liners give a more blended appearance, which is great for a smokey eye vibe.
3. The Tape Method
Want a foolproof way to ensure your wings are even? Grab some tape! Place it at an angle from the outer corner of your eye toward your brow. Apply your eyeliner along the tape, then carefully peel it away for a sharp wing. This method is especially helpful if you’re just starting out.
4. The Pencil Liner Approach
For a more subtle look, pencil liner can work wonders. It’s easier to control and perfect for beginners. Apply the pencil to your lash line and extend it slightly outwards for the wing. Smudge it with a brush for a softer finish, and you’re good to go!
